2010 FORD FUSION Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

ON10/4/2020, TRAVELING FORWARD ON A NEARBY COUNTY ROAD AT APPROX 40 MPH, THE ABS WARNING AND ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM FAILURE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS NO POWER BRAKES. AFTER BECOMING VERY EXCITED AND BELIEVING THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL INCHES FURTHER THAN NORMAL AND FELT RESISTANCE. WITH ENOUGH PRESSURE I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP BUT NOT AN EASY TASK. IF THIS HAD BEEN A SITUATION IN WHICH I NEEDED TO STOP QUICKLY, I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MANAGED. CONTACTED A FAMILY MEMBER AND I FOLLOWED THEM SLOWLY TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. THE FORD DEALER CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND STATED THAT IT WAS AN ABS MODULE FAILURE AND THAT THIS PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL NOVEMBER 2020. IN DOING RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT RECALL # 19S54 HAD BEEN...

WHEN DRIVING STEERING INTERMITTENTLY HAS GONE OUT WITH 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' APPEARING ON THE SCREEN, USUALLY RESTARTING THE CAR WOULD FIX IT. NOW GOING TO WORK CAR DIDN'T HAVE POWER STEERING, AFTER RESTARTING ADVANCETRAC CAME ON AS WELL AND NOW POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT IS ON PERMANENTLY

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION SE ON A HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO TURN INTO A LOCAL SHOPPING MALL. AN ALERT POPPED UP IN THE DASH THAT SAID SERVICE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING. I CALLED MY LOCAL FORD SERVICE COMPANY AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ON THE RACK AND PINION/ STEERING GEAR FOR MY CAR MODEL. HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THIS WAS A RECALL AND UNFORTUNATELY A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE I HAD. HOWEVER, I FOUND OUT THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL, AND WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF. I CALLED THE FORD COMPANY AND EXPLAINED TO THEM THE ISSUE THINKING THAT THEY WOULD SIMPLY ADD MY VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN...

THE VEHICLE HAS NO POWER STEERING OR TRACTION CONTROL. IT IS DISPLAYING THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT AND SERVICE ADVANCE TRACTION CONTROL. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS REPLACING THE RACK & PINION WHICH IS $1400. I'VE RESEARCHED A RECALL ON 2011 FUSION'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THE 2010 EXCLUDED? I DO NOT FEEL THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE. THE FAULT OCCURS ALL THE TIME, SITTING, DRIVING, ETC.

THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT AGAIN AFTER I HAD IT REPLACED LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO. THANKFULLY IT WENT OUT ON START UP AND NOT WHILE DRIVING OR I MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN DANGER.

MY FAMILY FINANCED OUR 2010 FUSION SEL IN SEPTEMBER OF 2011, WAS CERTIFIED USED WITH 7,900 MILES, PURCHASED WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY AS WELL. MY MOM AND MY SISTER DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 7 YEARS, THEY LOVED IT AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT. THEY PASSED IT DOWN TO ME IN 2018 WHEN I GOT MY LICENSE, MY MOTHER TOLD ME HOW TO TAKE CARE OF OUR CARS AND WHAT NOT TO DO, WE DON'T ABUSE OUR VEHICLES. THE FIRST MAJOR ISSUE WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT COMPLETELY WENT OUT AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A GREEN LIGHT IT FELT LIKE MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING TO FALL OUT OF MY CAR, WITH THE RPM JUMPING UP AND DOWN, SHIFTED HORRIBLY. I THEN DROVE MY POSSESSED CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER, THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED THE SAME DAY IN MAY OF 2018 UNDER WARRANTY AND WORKED FINE EVER SINCE (SOMETIMES). THEY SAID...

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON MY DASH THEN BEGAN TO BLINK. I STARTED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY WHEN I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING, I COASTED TO A STOP AND CALLED TRIPLE A. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. I DROVE THE CAR OUT OF THE REPAIR SHOP AND WHEN I CAME TO THE FIRST STOP SIGN AGAIN IT FELT LIKE I HAD NO BRAKES. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 15 MPH SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY PUSHING EXTREMELY HARD DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND USING THE AID OF MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND AFTER 2 DAYS THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR HAD A PROBLEM THAT ONLY THE DEALERSHIP CAN FIX. THE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND THE STEERING CEASED WITH THE SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARRIAGE FORD, INC. (908 E LEWIS AND CLARK PKWY, CLARKSVILLE, IN 47129) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO VEHICLE TO TRI-COUNTY FORD LOCATED AT (4032 COMMERCE PKWY, LA GRANGE, KY 40031), WHERE THE DEALER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER ON BEHALF OF THE CONTACT. THE MANUFACTURER AGREED TO ASSIST FINANCIALLY TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

WHILE DRIVING I INTERMITTENTLY LOSE POWER STEERING. BEFORE I COULD SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND IT'LL RESET BUT NOW IT WON'T EVEN DO THAT. I'M SCARED IF MY WIFE DRIVES IT AND IT FAILS AND COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND IT SAYS SERVICE ADVANCETRAC SYSTEM & SER ICE POWER STEERING

THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN 2010 FUSIONS AS YOU CAN FIND LOTS OF SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. WHILE HEADING TOWARDS AN EXIT ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70MPH, THE STEERING SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER STEERING. TWO WARNINGS APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY SAYING "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" AND "POWER STEER ASSIST FAILURE." EVERYTHING RETURNS TO NORMAL AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR AND IT HAPPENS ONCE AGAIN AT RANDOM.

I TOOK MY CAR TO SHEEHY FORD OF MARLOW HEIGHTS FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL REPAIR. UPON PICKING THE CAR UP AFTER IT WAS "FIXED", THERE ARE NOW 3 LIGHTS ON MY DASH THAT WERE NOT PREVIOUSLY THERE. THESE LIGHTS ARE THE AIRBAG LIGHT, THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT, AND THE SERVICE WRENCH. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COOPERATE AS FAR AS FIXING THIS.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED, ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED: "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT; SERVICE ADVANCETRAC". FAILURE OCCURRED AT LOW SPEED, SHORTLY AFTER STARTUP.

SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS DRIVING HOME. THE NEXT MORNING I TURNED ON THE CAR AND IT SAID SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW. HAVE SEEN THAT I AM ONE OF THE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE. SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED NOT JUST THE 2011 WHICH IS JUST ONE YEAR NEWER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING AND THE TRACTION CONTROL FAILED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A DITCH. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A POLE COMING TO A STOP AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MAINTENANCE SERVICE TRACK AND THE SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW WARNING MESSAGES ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE POLICE WERE NOTIFIED AND A REPORT WAS FILED. NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED AT THE SCENE, HOWEVER, THE MOTHER AND THE CONTACT SUFFERED FROM BACK PAIN AFTER THE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST TOWED TO A TOW YARD AND LATER TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DESTROYED; THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED OR TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED HER THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON HER VEHICLE...

I WAS DRIVING ON HWY 23 WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE DASH LIGHT CAME ON SAYING DEFAULT TRAC SERVICE SOON. THEN MY STEERING WENT OUT && IT WAS LIKE I HAD NO POWER STEERING. ABOUT 2 WEEKS PRIOR I HAD TO HAVE TYSON ROD ENDS PUT ON INSIDE & OUT AFTER JUST HAVING THEM REPLACED IN APRIL. MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON SAYING PASSENGER AIRBAG. A NOISE LIKE A RUBBING/SCRAPING NOISE EVERY TIME I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT I'VE HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID SE FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP IN FAIRFAX, VA. AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 9 YEARS, THE VEHICLE NO LONGER OPERATES IN ELECTRIC MODE (IT ONLY OPERATES IN GAS MODE). MY AVERAGE MPG HAS DROPPED FROM 37-40 MPG TO 25-27 MPG. I TOOK IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER MANASSAS, VA IN NOV 2019 WHO INDICATED THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION TO FIX IT (THEY INITIALLY WERE GOING TO CHARGE ME $150 DIAGNOSTIC FEE BUT WAIVED THE FEE AND SENT ME HOME). THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS IN FORD VEHICLE FORUMS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. CONSENSUS IS THAT FORD PROGRAMMED THE ELECTRONIC MODE TO STOP WORKING AFTER 9 YEARS. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS NO DISCLOSURE THAT I WOULD NO LONGER HAVE A PROPERLY WORKING HYBRID AFTER 9 YEARS. THIS END-OF-LIFE DECISION WOULD HAVE...

IMAGINE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MOTOR GOES OUT AND IT TAKES EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS WRONG AND AFRAID OF DAMAGING SOMETHING FURTHER HAVING TO GET THE CAR TOWED $ 125 AND AFTER A $1,800 REPAIR BILL AT THE DEALER THEY EXPLAINED ALMOST EVERY YEAR MODEL FUSION EXCEPT THE 2010 I OWN WASN'T RECALLED. NOT COUNTING THE COST OF A RENTAL AND TIME MISSED FROM WORK WHILE THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP. I'D CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE A PRETTY DECENT DRIVER BUT NOW I'D LIKE YOU TO TRY AND IMAGINE IF THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR WIFE OR DAUGHTER DRIVING AND THAT HAPPEN. AS FAR AS THE EXACT DATE I GUESS BECAUSE I HAD TO PAY WITH A DEBIT CARD (CASH) MY FORD PASS APP DOESN'T EVEN SHOW A RECORD OF IT....

WHEN I STARTED UP THE CAR & WAS GOING TO PULL OUT THE LIGHT FOR PASSENGER AIR BAG CAME ON, THEN I TURN MY WHEEL & THERE IS LIKE A GRINDING SOUND. I PULLED ON SIDE OF ROAD & HAD SOMEONE COME CHECK IT. THEY SAID SAME THING I DID. I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING RUBBING AGAINST THE TIRE, BUT WHEN WE LOOKED THERE WAS NOTHING. THEN HE KEPT TURNING THE WHEEL & IT SOUNDED MORE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. MY HUSBAND CHECKED UNDERNEATH THE CAR WHEN I GOT HOME & THANK GOODNESS HE DID BECAUSE THE TIE ROD ENDS INSIDE & OUT WERE SO BAD THAT I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE NOT OF CRASHED. STILL THE STEERING IS MAKING THAT LOUD GRINDING, SCREECHING SOUND. AIR BAG & TRAC LIGHTS COME ON OCCASIONALLY STILL ALSO. REALLY FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR HERE THE LAST FEW MONTHS. IVE HAD IT PARKED...

I STARTED MY CAR WHEN LEAVING WORK AND RECEIVED AN ERROR THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED. I FOLLOWED THE GUIDELINES IN THE BOOK AND TURNED OFF THE CAR FOR 30 SECONDS AND RESTARTED. ON RESTART THE ERROR RETURNED. I DROVE CAR TO MECHANIC AND HAD NO POWER STEERING. AFTER TALKING WITH MECHANIC ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE AND STILL NO POWER STEERING. ANOTHER ERROR TURNED ON PRIOR TO LEAVING THE PARKING LOT WITH ADVANCETRAC FAILURE. LEFT CAR AT MECHANIC. ERROR SOUNDS SIMILAR TO OTHER FORD AND LINCOLN CARS WITH POWER STEERING FAILURE.

WHEN TURNING ON CAR AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOLLOWING REPAIR OF RECALLED AIRBAG THE WARNING LIGHT TO SERVICE ELECTRONIC TRAC SYSTEM. STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN. SERVICE WRITER CHECKED CODES AND NOTHING CAME UP. I WAS TOLD TO JUST TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON AND THAT WOULD RESET IT. THAT WORKED. IT CONTINUED TO DO THAT ON AND OFF THE NEXT 2 WEEKS. THEN IT WOULD NOT RESET. WE TRIED TO DRIVE IT STOPPING AND STARTING IT TO TRY TO RESET IT. IT SUDDENLY BECAME REALLY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND MY HUSBAND LOST CONTROL AND RAN OVER A CURB ON CITY STREET . LUCKILY NO ONE WAS ON THE CURB OR SIDEWALK .NO INJURIES. FORD SAYS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING IS OUT AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED COSTING OVER 18,000$. I HAVE 133,000 MILES ON CAR.

ELECTRIC STEERING START ON HWY ACTING UP PHONE FORD AND THEY SAYS NO RECALL ON THEM BUT I KNOW OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM PHONE FORD AND THEY SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO BUT THE ONE YEAR NWER IS RECALL YET THE THE I HAVE HAS THE SAME PARTS SEE THE LINK FOR MY 2010 FUSION HTTPS://CA.SEARCH.YAHOO.COM/SEARCH?P=2010+FORD+FUSION+STEERING+PROBLEMS&FR=YFP-T&FP=1&TOGGLE=1&COP=MSS&EI=UTF-8

THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. FOR ABOUT 1.5 MONTHS WHEN I WOULD TURN ON THE VEHICLE THE DASH WOULD NOTIFY OF A POWER STEERING FAULT AND POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK (STEERING WHEEL NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE). HOWEVER, IF I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON THE FAULT WOULD GO AWAY AND POWER STEERING WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. UNFORTUNATELY NOW THE POWER STEERING IS PERMANENTLY NOT WORKING AND THE CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. STABILITY CONTROL WARNING ALSO CAME ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER. EXTREMELY GLAD POWER STEERING DID NOT GO OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING, IT WOULD HAVE LIKELY CAUSED ME TO CRASH SINCE STEERING IS SO HARD TO USE WITHOUT POWER STEERING. I DID SOME RESEARCH FORD HAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR THE 2011 AND 2012 FUSIONS BUT NOT THE 2010 BUT APPEARS THE 2010 IS AFFECTED BY THE SAME DEFECT.

CAR IS A 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID 93KMILE. ON NOVEMBER 14, 2019 AT 7AM, CAR WAS APPROACHING TO A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION. CAR DID NOT STOP WHEN APPLY BREAK HIT ON THE BACK OF VAN STANDING ON THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. USED THE HAND BREAK TO SLOW DOWN AND SINCE THE SPEED WAS LOW WHEN HIT THE FRONT VAN. NO MAJOR DAMAGE OCCUR EXCEPT SCRATCH AND ESCAPED FROM ACCIDENT. TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP IN EAST WIDSOR, NJ (HALMAN FORD). AFTER DIAGNOSIS THE RESULT SHOWS THE ABS BREAK CONTROL UNIT IS NOT FUNCTIONING AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. IT COST $1588+ TAX. CALLED FORD. THEY TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE ANY PROGRAM FOR THIS ISSUE AND DON'T PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE FOR REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 FORD FUSION THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND THE CAR BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE INFORMATION DISPLAY SAID POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. AS I TURNED TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC A SECOND MESSAGE SAID SERVICE ADVANCETRAC.

I HAD ALREADY GOTTEN MY THROTTLE BODY REPAIRED THE YEAR BEFORE MY CAR STARTED JOLTING AS IF IT WAS MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN. THIS TIME THOUGH THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP WHEN I TRIED ACCELERATE FROM STOP, RPMS WOULD GO ALL THE WAY UP TO 5 BEFORE SWITCHING GEARS AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD MOVE UP AND DOWN WHILE ELECTRICAL LIGHTS FLICKERED. TOOK IT TO FORD AND NOTHING WAS FOUND SO I GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THAT SAME DAY THE CAR STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO FORD THEY OFFERED TO CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY AND RETURNED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY. NOT EVEN 24HRS AFTER STARTED THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK CAR TO AUTO ZONE THEY IMMEDIATELY FOUND AN ERROR FOR THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO FORD WHERE THEY HAD ME LEAVE IT FOR TWO DAYS FOR THE TRANSMISSION TECH TO LOOK AT...

WHILE IN MOTION POWER STEERING MESSAGE APPEAR ON DASHBOARD, AND STEERING HAS HARD. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE STEERING AND PINION. BUT WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK FROM THE DEALER AND STEERING WAS WORKING. ISSUE CAME BACK A WEEK LATER AND I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC THAT STATED THAT THE DEALER PROBABLY RESET THE CODES OR COMPUTER. HE CHECK THE STEERING AND CABLING AND FOUND NO ISSUE. HE RESET THE COMPUTER CODE AND THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. TWO WEEKS LATER AFTER MY TIRE BECAME LOW THE SAME ISSUE HAPPEN. IT SEEMS THAT THE STEERING KEEPS ERRORING OUT OR GETTING SOME TYPE OF MESSAGE CAUSING IT TO SHUTDOWN UNTIL THE CODE IS RESET.

ADVANCE TRAC LIGHT AND POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON THIS MORNING DONT KNOW WHY CAR DOESN'T TAKE POWER STEERING FLUID THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE 2015 WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT.

WELL I GET OUT THIS MORNING TO TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL WHEN I CRANK THE CAR AND WE START RIDING THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC LIGHT CAME ON IN BLANK THEN THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. SO AFTER I DROP THEM OFF I WAS ON MY WAY HOME THE LIGHT CONTINUE TO BLINK AS I PULLED UP IN MY DRIVEWAY THE STEERING WHEEL START TO GET HARD TO STEER SO I'LL PARK GOT OUT WELL SO I'LL PART POP THE HOOD GOT OUT AND CHECK FOR POWER STEERING ON TO REALIZE THAT IS NOT ONE BECAUSE IT'S ELECTRIC. SO WHEN I LOOK ONLINE TO MY SURPRISE EVERYBODY WITH A FORD FUSION IS HAVING THE SAME AS A PROBLEM DIFFERENT YEAR DIFFERENT ENGINE SIZE BUT SAME PROBLEM NO ONE SEEMS TO HAVE A SOLUTION BECAUSE IT'S MANY THINGS THAT CAN CAUSE THE PROBLEM IS VERY STRESSFUL I THINK Y'ALL SHOULD...

ALL OF A SUDDEN ONE DAY ONE LIGHTS ON MY RADIO WENT OUT SCREEN IS BLANK MY AIR / HEAT GO IN AND OUT INTERMITTINGLY MY HORN ALSO IS NO LONGER WORKING NONE OF MY OUTLETS HAVE POWER . I HAVE HAD A SYSTEM TEST DONE SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING CAN BE FOUND . I LOOKED ON LINE I SEE THAT OVER 100 PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR AND YEAR HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND THIS IS VERY COSTLY AND AS A CONSUMER AND THIS NEEDS BE RECALLED .

THE CAR STALLS AND SHIFTS GEARS AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THEN AFTER MOMENTS OF PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL IT SPINS OFF AND JERKS REALLY HARD ON A FREEWAY IT RIDES VERY WELL IT ONLY STALLS AFTER WAITING AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN OR TAPPING ONTO THE BREAK ALSO THE CAR HAS NEW BREAK PADS BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS SCRUBBING AND WHILE I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING LOT THE CAR MADE A HUGE POPPING AND THREW ME BACK WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BREAK IT SCARED ME SO I GOT OUT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED AND I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING NOR DID ANYTHING HIT ME SO I TRIED TO DRIVE HOME AND THE CAR JERKED THE ENTIRE WAY HOME ALMOST

DRIVING VEHICLE AT ABOUT 25 MPH WHEN AN ALERT CAME UP TO CHECK STABILITY CONTROL AND POWER STEERING. POWER STEERING WAS SLIGHTLY TOUGHER BUT NOT HARD. DROVE FOR ANOTHER 20 MILES TO DESTINATION AND IT WAS FINE. A FEW HOURS LATER WHEN THE CAR WAS RESTARTED THE POWER STEERING WAS COMPLETELY GONE AND ALERT SAID TO CHECK POWER STEERING NOW

THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING & ALMOST CAUSED THE DRIVER TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS MOVING IN A PARKING LOT. UPON TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE VEHICLE STEERING FAILED & ALMOST HIT THE CAR NEXT TO IT. A MECHANIC RAN DIAGNOSTIC & DETERMINED THE ELECTRONIC EPAS TORQUE SENSOR HAD FAILED.

MY 2010 FORD FUSION LOST ALL ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING 45 ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY 12 YR OLD AND 1 MONTH OLD IN THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING MY STEERING SEIZED UP AND I HAD TO USE ALL EXTRA FORCE TO TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY. THANK GOD TRAFFIC WAS EASY AND I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON SAYING TIRE PRESSURE LOW, SERVICE POWER STEERING AND ADVANCED TRAC WARNING. MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT THE 2010 FORD FUSION. HOWEVER A RECALL HAS ONLY BEEN ISSUED FOR THE 2011-2012 MODEL FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE 2010 AS WELL. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER. IT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY TO US AS THE DRIVERS BUT EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. VERY UNSAFE! HOPEFULLY A RECALL IS GIVEN FOR THE 2010 MODELS AS WELL, BEING THAT...

WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR AND THE CAR LOSS STEERING CONTROL AND THE POWERSTEERING ASSIST FAULT CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTROL AND DRIVE. LUCKILY SOMEONE DID NOT GET SERIOUSLY HURT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITHOUT WARNING THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THIS DECREASED ITS MOBILITY PLACING ITS OCCUPANTS AT A HIGH RISK.

I BROUGHT MY NEPHEW TO SCHOOL, CAR STARTED FINE AND NO ISSUES. IT'S ONLY MAYBE A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AFTER DROPPING OFF, THE 'POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT' AND 'SERVICE ADVANCETRAK' INDICATORS CAME ON ONCE I PUT IT IN REVERSE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT INDICATOR CAME ON MAYBE 3 TIMES THROUGHOUT THE PAST 2 MONTHS BUT ONCE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF THEN BACK ON, THE INDICATOR WAS GONE AND I COULD DRIVE. THIS TIME IT DIDN'T GO AWAY AND THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAK WAS ON.

AFTER STARTING THE CAR, I GET MESSAGE "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT". AFTER MOVING JUST A FEW FEET, THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON AND I GET MESSAGE "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC". THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE ELECTRIC RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE PART ALONE IS OVER $1600. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THE 2011 AND 2012 MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED, AND THE 2010 MODELS HAVE THE SAME PART NUMBER FOR THE RECALLED RACK.

THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO RUN OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A TREE. THE SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW LIGHT THAN CAME ON

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED TURNED ON LOST POWER STEERING AND POSTS THE CODES "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND "ADVANCETRAC NEEDS SERVICE." IT MAKES CONTROLLING THE CAR DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS. WE CHECKED ONLINE AND NOTICED THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS. FORD KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL CAR AND HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. VERY DANGEROUS AND DISAPPOINTING. NOT A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF AN AMERICAN COMPANY.

I WAS JUST LEAVING A GAS STATION WHEN I HEARD BEEPING. I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW MY POWER STEERING ASST FAILURE LIGHT WAS ON AND MY SERVICE ADVANCE TRACK LIGHT. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. I HAVE LOOKED UP AND SEEN YOU GUYS HAVE COVERED THE 2011 TO 2012 BUT NOT THE 2010 EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE

AT 128,000 MILES BOTH THE POWER ASSIST STEER FAULT AND SERVICE ADVANCETRAC ILLUMINATED WITHIN THE MESSAGE CENTER IN MY DASHBOARD. MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS AND HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN BUT A COUPLE OF TIMES DURING THIS PERIOD. I NEEDED TO DRIVE IT DUE TO HAVING WORK DONE ON MY DAILY DRIVER. SO, I STARTED MY VEHICLE THE MORNING I INTENDED TO USE IT TO COMMUTE TO WORK AND THESE PROBLEMS SUDDENLY APPEARED. I WAS NOT IN MOTION AS I HAD JUST STARTED THE VEHICLE ON THE MORNING OF THE 18TH TO WARM UP PRIOR TO DRIVING IT TO WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED SEVERAL TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND EPS WARNING INDICATORS RANDOMLY FLASHED. THE CONTACT, A MECHANIC, CHECKED FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE, WHICH INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR EITHER OPENING OR SHORTING OUT. THE CODE ALSO INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A CONNECTION FAILURE AND THE ABS MODULE MAY BE FAULTY. HASSETT FORD-LINCOLN (3530 SUNRISE HWY, WANTAGH, NY 11793, (516) 785-7800) AND FORD LINCOLN OF QUEENS BOULEVARD (139-48 QUEENS BLVD, JAMAICA, NY 11435, (718) 657-8888) INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM ANY EPS AND BRAKE RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

VEHICLE SHOWED INTERMITTENT "SERVICE ADVANCETRAK" LIGHT AND WOULD INTERMITTENTLY GO INTO FULL ABS MODE AT LOW SPEED ON SMOOTH, DRY PAVEMENT. THE ABS PART OF THE PROBLEM CAUSED US TO MISS SEVERAL TURNS FOR LACK OF EFFECTIVE BRAKING AND, AT LEAST ONCE, TO END UP FOUR FEET PAST A STOP SIGN AND INTO THE CROSSING LANE OF TRAFFIC. THE FORD DEALER REPLACED THE L/R ABS SENSOR TWICE BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED 9 MONTHS AND THEN 3 MONTHS LATER. THE THIRD TIME, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP WHERE I WAS ABLE TO PERSONALLY OBSERVE THE FINAL AND CORRECT DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR OF THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS A BUILDUP OF RUST AND SCALE ON THE SENSOR MOUNTING POINT WHICH HAD GRADUALLY FORCED THE PLASTIC SENSOR FURTHER AND FURTHER FROM NOTCHED SENDER WHEEL UNTIL, EVENTUALLY, THE SENSOR BECAME INTERMITTENT. THE COMPUTER APPARENTLY INTERPRETED THIS AS A LOCKED WHEEL AND THEN...

POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. PASSENGER BAG FAULT. AND SERVICE ADVANCETRACK. I WENT TO START MY CAR LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AND THE CAR WILL NOT STEER. A WARNING APPEARED THE DAY BEFORE AND I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND IT WAS FINE BUT NOW WON'T DO SO.

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING FOR OVER A MONTH DUE TO MY LIMITED INCOME AS A VETERAN I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE AT AN ESTIMATE COST OF $1600. THIS ISSUE IS NOT DUE TO MY NEGLIGENCE.POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE IS THE ISSUE. I WAS DRIVING IT TO WORK IN DALLAS,NC WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AS I MADE A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE. AFTER I STRUGGLED TO GET IT INTO THE PARKING SPACE I ALSO STRUGGLE TO DRIVE IT HOME AS WELL.ONCE I GOT THE VEHICLE HOME I CALLED TINDOL FORD IN GASTONIA,NC REGARDING MY CONCERN I WAS INFORMED THAT I NEED TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AT MY EXPENSE OF $99. THEN IF IT IS THE EPAS (ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM) REPAIR ESTIMATE COST CAN BE ABOUT $1600. THIS VEHICLE SPECIFICALLY HAD A RECALL BEFORE NOT SURE BUT I THINK IT WAS FOR...

MY WIFE DROVE TO GET MY TIRES CHANGED AND WHEN SHE GOT TO THE WALMART AUTO CENTER TO CHANGE THE TIRES THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY SHE HAD MADE IT TO THE AUTO CENTER AND WASN'T INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AS THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT IN THE PARKING LOT, HOWEVER SHE WAS IN MOTION. MY WIFE IS 5 MONTHS PREGNANT AND ITS TERRIFYING TO KNOW THAT SHE COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED TO A MOVING ACCIDENT WITH A VEHICLE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUS RECALL OF THE 2011-2013 FORD FUSIONS. AS MANY OTHERS HAVE STATED, THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT DUE TO THE FAULT THAT IS INHERENT WITH THE EPAS SYSTEM OF THE FORD FUSION. AS SUCH I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER TO FIGURE OUT A REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $1600 FOR THE REPAIR THAT I DON'T...

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOST ELECTRIC STEERING CONTROL AND TWO CODES APPEARED ON THE DASH - SERVICE ADVANCETRAC AND POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT 65ISH WHILE COMPLETING A SLOPING TURN ON THE CAPITAL BELTWAY, THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT AND REQUIRED EXTENSIVE ARM FORCE TO REMAIN IN CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS SAFELY MOVED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE.

I INHERITED THIS VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF FOR NO REASON AND THE BATTERY AND WRENCH LIGHT COME ON. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS COULD BE THE ETB ASSEMBLY AND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I DO NOT KNOW WHY FORD HAS NOT RECALLED IT YET RATHER THAN OFFERING THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM. I HAVE AN APPT TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP ON SATURDAY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WE SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY DIAGNOSTICS. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME WHILE DRIVING I WILL SUE.

APRIL 30, 2018 AFTER DRIVING FOR 3 HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPR. 75 TO 80 MPH THE DASH LIGHTS WENT HAYWIRE, FLICKERING AND THEN THE SERVICE ADVANCETRAC WARNING CAME D. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO MY EXIT AND DRIVE SLOWLY. I COULD STOP AND GO VERY SLOW. AFTER A MILE OR 2 THE BATTER LIGHT AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD FEEL THE CAR LOOSING POWER SO I PULLED OVER. AT THIS TIME IT WAS ALSO CHIMING THAT THE CROSS FAULT SYSTEM WAS NOT AVAILABLE. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF, IT WOULD NOT START, THE RADIO WOULD PLAY, LIGHTS WOULD WORK AND HAZARDS WOULD WORK .THE STEERING WAS HARD TO TURN THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND I AM AWAITING A DIAGNOSIS. EARLIER ON APRIL 16, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD STATING THEY...
